A friend of mine recently shared this notion with me:

True Believers don’t need any data. For skeptics, there is never enough data.

How many times have we been in a place in our lives where we need more evidence, more “data,” to underscore a decision or the articulation of a particular belief? I think of all of the times in my life when I had a moment of “I just know this is true,” and then spent time trying to back up that feeling with facts. Expending energy toward proving something that a wise part of me already knew was true.

What if we were to live a life in the place of True Belief? Where our gut responses and knowings are treated as real and definitive. No need for proof or exhaustive research. The place where we stand in the knowing that comes through our bodies and non-thinking minds. What liberation, to believe that we have the power to trust our deepest intuition, with no questions, at any given time.

This is what I find so often in my practices with all of you. Your willingness to surrender to a self-generated wisdom that is beyond understanding and scientific proof. Knowing that, as you release the mind and surrender to the wisdom of your cellular body, you find the clear, resonant voice of Truth that requires no proof or supporting data.

Where in your life do you support the skeptic? The one that is never certain and always searching? How can you turn your energy and attention to The One Who Knows – the True Believer – that is confident in the state of intuitive knowing? Not that this is an easy journey. Our society often supports the notion that “information in the form of data is power.” What if we turn that idea on its head and start promoting the belief that “information in the form of intuition is power”? That our deepest knowing, not always explicable, yet always sourced from a place of impeccability, is the greatest power we possess.

It is up to us to harness this power. To acknowledge our gut responses and rest into their power, rather than stepping out of that sensation and spending our time garnering supporting evidence. This is the path of the True Believers. What a glorious opportunity we have. To put aside external data that dilutes our most concentrated knowing, and welcome the wisdom of our most powerful ally: our internal data.
